All the mockery and laughter suddenly vanished.
Everyone glared at Carson Flores, their eyes filled with unabashed fury.
"Just you?"
"You truly boast without any restraint, how daring you are!"
"What's your strength? Let me teach you a lesson first, see if you dare to be so arrogant?"
Carson Flores replied with a smile, "My strength is low, not comparable to you all, only at the Mid-Stage True Immortal."
Before the crowd could continue their insults, Carson's tone cooled slightly, "Whether you find a True Immortal to deal with me, or proclaim yourselves as within the True Immortal Realm, wanting to beat me up or handle me, I accept. I also want to see if the Dragon Clan's pride is truly based on something substantial, or if it's just hollow arrogance, all talk?"
If you want to beat me, I accept!
The group of Dragon Clan members opposite Carson immediately brightened up, each eager to fight.
"Leighton, let me deal with him!"
"I'll do it!"
Leighton Matthews gazed at Carson Flores, his eyes growing more serious.
As a strong contender for the title of young clan leader, he clearly wasn't brainless. Carson's words stirred some caution in his heart.
Could this Carson Flores be truly powerful?
Just as Leighton Matthews was about to speak, the door beside them opened, and Norah Matthews stepped out, coldly demanding, "What are you doing?"
Leighton Matthews offhandedly replied, "Having a chat with Envoy Lin, preparing for a spar, to pass the boring time."
Norah Matthews icily said, "He is the Immortal Palace Envoy, bearing the Immortal Palace Order, representing the Celestial Palace, representing the Domain Master. Can you represent the Azure Dragon Clan, or the entire Dragon Clan?"
Leighton Matthews' expression turned rather unpleasant at once. Norah's words were a slap in the face, implying he lacked the status to stand on equal footing with Carson Flores, let alone to challenge him.
Carson Flores holds the Immortal Palace Order, his words can represent the stance of the Celestial Palace. How about you?
Who can you represent?
If you provoke Carson Flores to anger, he could declare war on the Dragon Clan on behalf of the Celestial Palace. Can you handle that?
Can you bear it?
Can you handle the consequences?
Indeed, while the Dragon Clan traditionally does not heed the commands of the Celestial Palace, it does not mean they can disdain or oppose it.
Leighton Matthews' face hardened, "Norah, no need to escalate things. We're just inviting Envoy Lin for a spar, he agreed himself, it's mutual consent. Why make it a big deal about representation? I'll represent myself, alright?"
Norah Matthews wanted to say more, but Carson Flores spoke calmly, "Ms. Matthews, if they wish to spar, then let it happen. There's nothing wrong with that. However, I hope none of you will use Golden Immortal or Heavenly Immortal realms during the spar, or it could be troublesome."
Leighton Matthews haughtily remarked, "Rest assured, we will absolutely not use the Golden Immortal realm."
Carson Flores smiled gently, "Then I am relieved."
Leighton Matthews turned his head, tilting it towards Nelson Matthews, "Nelson, you go."
A broad-shouldered, burly young man stepped forward from behind Leighton Matthews, clenching a fist into his palm, his face gleaming with confidence, "Brother Leighton, rest assured, I will go all out to spar well with Envoy Lin, and definitely won't let Envoy Lin down."
Norah Matthews looked at the intimidating crowd, then turned to Carson Flores, whispering, "Envoy Lin..."
Carson Flores smiled slightly, responding in a whisper, "As the Immortal Palace Envoy, how can I tolerate being insulted? If they want to fight, I'll play along. You needn't worry. Besides, you don't support them anyway, do you?"
Seeing the star-like cold brightness in Carson's eyes, Norah's heart sank.
Others may not know Carson's combat power, but she certainly did.
In the Initial Stage of True Immortality, he dared to infiltrate the Puddington Tribe, getting close to Callie Matthews, knowing that she was guarded by two Heavenly Immortals and over a dozen Golden Immortals!
During the chaos of war, Carson was able to launch a surprise attack alone, capturing Callie amidst the protection of over a dozen Golden Immortals, and even killed three Golden Immortal Guards. How many True Immortals could achieve such a feat?
Moreover, Norah had heard that a year ago, Carson and Callie had a duel, where he, at the Initial Stage True Immortal, was against her at the Mid-Stage True Immortal, and Callie lost!
Callie not only lost but was soundly defeated, without any ability to retaliate!
How strong must Carson's combat power be to defeat a Callie, whose combat power rivaled that of a Golden Immortal, so cleanly?
Now, after a year of arduous cultivation in the Spirit Vein, Carson has advanced to the Mid-Stage True Immortal. In these circumstances, this group actually cluelessly seeks to challenge Carson, to humiliate him?
Norah Matthews knew Leighton's targeting of Carson was largely a matter of targeting her.
After all, it was she who brought Carson here!
Though the exact issue was unclear, to humiliate Carson was to humiliate her, wasn't it?
Norah Matthews took a deep breath, whispering, "Envoy Lin, their attitude doesn't represent the Azure Dragon Clan. Our Azure Dragon Clan harbors no ill will against the Celestial Palace."
Carson Flores glanced at Norah Matthews with a smile.
This woman likely foresaw the events to come, hence she made such a statement in advance, as a form of declaration.
"I understand. At this moment, I do not represent the Celestial Palace, only myself. I just want to give them a good beating."
